Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's conviction of the accused under Section 326 IPC for causing grievous hurt to Ram Bharose, while dismissing the appeal against the acquittal of the charge under Section 302 IPC due to insufficient evidence linking the accused to the fatal injuries. The Court noted that the evidence from witnesses P.W. 3 and P.W. 4 was credible but did not establish which specific injury was inflicted by which accused, leading to the conclusion that the common object was to commit rioting rather than murder. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed and bail bonds were cancelled.
